Parents need to know that Switching Goals is the aptly named 1999 Olsen twin TV movie about middle school soccer leagues and the damage a winning-at-all-cost philosophy can cause. The twins scheme to switch teams to match their differing skill levels, and they hide their plans from their highly ethical mother. Ultimately the girls and their dad learn there's more to soccer than winning. There's a subplot involving a tween crush.
